Beautiful location right off highway 89

Absolutely beautiful location off highway 89. A popular place especially for ohv-ers. Lots of places to park but most of them seemed to be “claimed” (tents or trailers with no vehicles) for the upcoming weekend. That is the only reason for the loss of one star. We were there on a Thursday night just for and one night stop-and-go, so any of those claimed spots we could have used had they not been there.

There is a creek that flows back and forth around the area, we had that for our soundtrack as we slept.

At about mile 2 from the turn-off, there is a cattle guard and clear signs that the road is public but the land is not. It is possible that there is another cattle guard further up and more dispersed passed it as we saw more rvs head up and not turn around and come back, but we did not investigate that.

Well worth the trip in the search for a spot though. It was an amazing stay.

Sitejust about the last spot before the cattle guard . a little pull-off (not a drive in site)
